It is a small, light hunting dog.\n\nIt is mainly found in the provinces of Ourense and Pontevedra and is used chiefly for rabbit hunting.","history":"The Guicho was close to extinction before it was recognised by the Xunta de Galicia in April 2001 and nationally by royal decree a month later, when a stud-book was also started. It is kept by a breed society.\n\nIts conservation status improved afterwards, and in 2025 the Real Sociedad Canina de España listed it among breeds in recovery. A 2024 census in parts of Pontevedra found 309 dogs.","appearance":"A small, slender dog. Females are about 30 to 38 cm tall and 6 to 8 kg; males about 34 to 42 cm and 8 to 10 kg. The coat may be solid from sand to chocolate or liver, or bi-coloured, tri-coloured or sable.","personality":"A keen, energetic little hunter, bred for working rough ground in pursuit of rabbits. It is typically alert and busy.","care":"Needs regular exercise and chances to follow its nose, and a secure garden is wise given its hunting instincts. Grooming is minimal."},"recognition":{"fci_number":null,"fci_standard_url":null,"akc_url":null},"sources":{"wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guicho","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12390229","wikipedia_revision":1355506639},"profile":{"written_by":"AI model (Claude Sonnet) from the sources above","written_at":"2026-10-15T13:59:38Z"}}}
